How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portage?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are some age-related requirements you should bear in mind before booking your Portage wheels. If you're a young driver, rental providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of cars you can rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between providers. Take your time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Portage?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Portage?
Motorists in Portage drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take a while getting familiar with your car before venturing out.

Where can I find a Portage car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that operate in Portage. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
